Something about gaping holes and rusty beams. It's going to be <A HREF="http://www.startribune.com/19303419.html" REL="nofollow">replaced</A> though. You might also look into the Bloomington Ferry footbridge, right under 169. Otherwise I guess you're left with the footbridge along 494. <BR/><BR/>Otherwise, of your two metro routes, the West River Road / Greenway option is probably nicer biking with fewer stops. Minnehaha parkway may be pretty heavy with traffic in the morning and biking around Calhoun can also be kind of busy. They are probably both worth trying though.<BR/><BR/>If you are biking into West Bloomington (or so I gather from the references to Hyland and Normandale Lake), I'd check out a route using the Bloomington Ferry Bridge.Adamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15251846875067789996noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11188695.post-31414065385441112022008-06-11T13:23:00.000-05:002008-06-11T13:23:00.000-05:00You could write a letter to Jim Oberstar regarding...You could write a letter to Jim Oberstar regarding the lack of an easy bike route over the MN river. He loves to pork barrell money for bike related projects in MN. He's been talking about bike racks and a bike trail into the airport (although one has to wonder how you could bike to the airport with your luggage!)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
